cant wait for it....rumors says the price is over 100k...hope it is not

Why you said so? Didn't you notice that most Kia is cheaper than Hyundai or similarly priced but better spec-ced?
K9 is not out yet and according to the rumours so far it will only be available in South Korea because of their branding. Even K7 is not even on sale in US yet although it was released two years earlier than the Azera HG because of their marketing strategy. Kia is trying to attract younger buyer (Soul, Hamster, K5 space adv) while Hyundai is going the more premium way.
PS: Being more premium is compared with Kia in case misinterpreted.

US is using 4speed AT only. 5spd is a manual. Ours is a CVT with 7 virtual gear.
The gearbox is one of the main reason why they get lousy fuel economy rated by EPA.

Haha. So far i think only some Asian love CVT (I dislike CVT very much!) but this is not the case in US and Europe. That's why you hardly see European or US as well as Korean car maker using a CVT gearbox. Good car at low price? I don't really think so as it is not justified in the real market. Is CVT-equipped-car cheaper than a 6AT car?
